20th Annual Hair Fair in Second Life Offering Limited Edition Last Names, Lifetime Premium Plus, Premium Auction

 

With the attention on the Relay for Life, it's easy to miss another cancer-related fundraiser going on in Second Life: The Hair Fair. Taking place in six sims, it offers a large variety of hairpieces, as well as other headgear like bandanas and wraps. And for it's anniversary, this Hair Fair is offering something special: Limited Edition last names and a  Lifetime Premium Plus and Lifetime Premium auctions.

 

...the 20th annual Hair Fair event in Second Life. Since 2010, Hair Fair has proudly partnered with Wigs For Kids, raising crucial funds and awareness to support children experiencing medical hair loss. Each year, creators, organizers, and residents come together to make this virtual event a meaningful celebration of community and generosity. 

 

Like every year, the Hair Fair has numerous shops offering hairpieces for sale, each with a listed percentage of sales going to the charity Wigs For Kids. Fifteen percent is the minimum amount, with 100% of the bandana sales going to the fundraiser. They are in six sims, grouped by hair color: Blonde, Brunette, Redhead, Streaks, Noirette, Fouls. Supporting a good cause isn't the only reason people come here. You can find varieties here that can be hard to find anywhere else, especially men's hair. 

 

But there are two things that set this Hair Fair apart. One is you can purchase one of three limited edition surnames for your account (all hair related): Style, Salon, and Strand. 

 

You can purchase at the event the last name of your choice and these will be manually set in motion with Linden Lab. They are being sold for the standard name change fee of L 12250 and 100 % goes to Wigs for Kids. You can also change your first name included in the price.

These will not only have the awesome factor of having such unique new names, but also knowing that the name has history of helping Wigs for Kids ♥. Who do their best to promote this event every year on their own website. 

 

As a reminder, your name will not change instantly, "While the name change is not instant it is done in order of filing your ticket, so do that as soon as you purchase." To get one of these last names, head to:  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hair%20Fair%20-%20Blonde/236/251/24

 

But this isn't all. You can also bid to get to upgrade to a Lifetime Premium account or a Lifetime Premium Plus account. You'll never have to pay another monthly fee for as long as Second Life is around. 

 

Hair Fair 2026 has been given the amazing opportunity to Auction off two Lifetime accounts, where 100% of the proceeds will go to Wigs for Kids.

 - 1 Lifetime Premium Plus account.
 
 - 1 Lifetime Premium account.
 
 The starting bids are based on the purchase price of these accounts set by Linden Lab. The Auction closes on 14th June but do not miss out on getting your bid in, if you are outbid before the auction ends you will be sent a notecard with landmark to return to the location to bid again if you wish to do so - which will also show as an offline notice to email if you have your settings that way. Please visit regularly during the event to keep your eye on the Auction. 

 

The Hair Fair is going on until Sunday June 14.

The Fantasy Faire Winds Down

 

 

The weekend of May 9 and 10 would see the last of the Faire's official events, aside from ongoing ones. Among those on Saturday May 9 was a showing of a stage performance at 4PM, "The Book of Tangles" with Justine Johndory as Alice and Merryjest Starchild as the Cheshire Cat (natural choice).

 

 Close to about eighty saw the show, and the cast got a roaring round of applause. There was a video made, which should be available for the Newser soon.

 

 Sunday May 10 would have fewer official events. The big one was the Live Auction at the Golden Hour sim. The place was packed with well over a hundred present. 

 

 On Monday May 11 was "The Final Ravedown," which on paper ran from 11 AM to 7PM, though probably went on longer.

 

 Avatars of all shapes and sizes danced away, regular humans being a tiny minority from what I saw the short time I was there. Supposedly glowsticks were not allowed because of a certain incident, one that supposedly happened again last tear. But I doubt anyone was paying attention.

 

 While some no doubt partied for hours, others were shopping, casually exploring the sims, or doing the Fairelands Quest, part two taking place in Kallissaya. 

 

 There are some obstacles to overcome, such as finding the elusive Boyd the bird. For those who get stuck, there's often a helping hand in Fairelands chat. 

 

And on Wednesday at 12 Noon is an encore performance of  "The Book of Tangles" for those who missed it the first time or just want to see it again.

 

Enjoy the rest of the Faire,

Press Release: One of a Kind Luxury House/Club to be Auctioned For MSABC in SL

The American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Across Second Life is pleased to present an ultimate luxury home for auction, with all of the proceeds going toward raising funds for breast cancer research.

“We are thrilled that a top designer has chosen to come alongside MSABC to help us make a difference with this unique opportunity,” says Leala Spire, Strides co-lead. “The quality of the build is exquisite. One lucky homeowner will have an ultimate luxury retreat that includes everything, even down to potholders in the kitchen.”

AXL Pro Design has donated their Technozen Acqua House Furnished Easy, priced at L$79,999, for the auction. Creator Slash Hansome has put everything you could possibly think of when it comes to luxe living in this house and club, and Spire encourages shoppers to explore the house, which will be on display starting on Oct 1.

With a footprint of 128 meters by 128 meters and 4,899 prim, the one-of-a-kind modernist home boasts 93 adult menus, which means there are thousands of possible adult animations.

This new Japanese-inspired house has 4 bedrooms, a bar and lounge, private cinema, jacuzzi room, sauna, gym, three lounges, a kitchen, dining room, office, billiard lounge, a garage, two living rooms, balconies, an elevator and a piano lounge -- all with adult animations. This house has it all, even down to a security camera system, dishes in the cupboard and fully stocked refrigerators and bars! And, for the bold of spirit, there are even two secret rooms waiting to be found.

The outside is completely landscaped and features an adult swimming pool, dock, gardens, patio, parking, a club and helipad. You can even take a walk along its cliff side and discover a natural trail and scenic overlook. For a sneak preview, check out the photo gallery of the house on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/gp/160579805@N03/vsX30s

You can tour this house starting Oct. 1 through Oct 26. on the Parade of Homes Tour.  Tour HUDs will be available at the Strides office, located on American Cancer Society Island starting Oct. 1: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/American%20Cancer%20Society/192/197/23

While touring the home, get your landmark and details on the Auction Party being held on Friday, Oct. 26 and all the info on how you can place your bid.

If you have any questions about the auction or MSABC please contact Leala Spire or Sandie Loxingly.

Each year, more than a million passionate women, men, and children participate in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, the largest network of breast cancer awareness events in the nation. The events unite communities by honoring those affected by the disease and raising money to reduce the burden of breast cancer.  Dollars raised through Making Strides Against Breast Cancer help the American Cancer Society fund innovative breast cancer research; provide education and guidance to help people reduce their risk; and offer comprehensive patient support to those who need it most so that no one facing breast cancer ever has to walk alone.

KEY STRIDES DATES

Parade of Homes: Starting Oct. 1, shoppers and homebuyers can pick up a Parade of Homes HUD at the Strides office and then discover some of the great home designers in Second Life, get your new home, and fight breast cancer – all at the same time.

Out Shop Breast Cancer: Starting Oct. 1, this event will take shoppers across the grid, exploring and shopping at stores in support of Strides. Store-owners will use American Cancer Society breast cancer vendor kiosks to feature special products in their stores.

About Homes For Our Troops
HFOT builds homes as a departure point for Veterans to rebuild their lives, and once again become highly productive members of society. Despite their life-altering injuries, many Veterans have embarked on new careers, completed their college degrees, or started families. Empowered by the freedom a mortgage-free and specially adapted home brings, these Veterans can now focus on their recovery and return to their life’s work of serving others. Many have embraced their roles as motivational speakers, sharing their messages of persevering through tragedy with groups and classrooms around the country; others take to a national platform to promote awareness of veteran suicide, homelessness and PTSD. Their incredible stories are the driving force for the work for HFOT.

RFL Home and Garden Expo Ends Today

After a few weeks, today marks the last day of the Relay for Life Home and Garden Expo. Besides the auditorium discussion at 2PM and the Lantern Ceremony at 4PM, there are some special items up for auction. One is a "Casa Rosella" 19th Century style manor that is "a one of a kind mansion, that will only be sold once, at this auction." To see it on display, head to: Hope 2 (47/245/23).

Also, Designing Worlds is auctioning off a chance to choose the topic of one of their shows, whether an event, group, place, or business. The only stipulation is that as the show aims to be family friendly, the subject can't be adult rated.

And of course there are numerous items up for sale for charity, proceeds going to the Relay for Life in Second Life.

Fundraiser For RECoyote Mindes Totals Over 190,000 Lindens

It's been a little over a month since RECoyote Mindes announced he was in financial trouble due to paying his ill mother's medical bills. Sadly, she would later pass away. To help out Rec, Nydia Tungsten would organize three fundrasing  efforts, a party in which those attending were encouraged to contribute to a tip jar which raised over 22,000 Lindens, a "Tail Sale" which raised over 87,000 Lindens, and finally a "Personal Pin-up Benefit Auction" that has apparently netted tens of thousands of Linden dollars. Besides these, there have been some individual donations. The final auction ended on Friday March 3, and over the weekend, Nydia announced the results.

January was a month of Sadness for our dear friend Reco,  he suffered a terrible loss, so we took the entire month of Feb to help him, all of you turned out to show your love and support for our Reco, and thanks you to you all, we are able to present him $191,765L's, 

Reco, we did this because we love you, and you have done so much for all of us. We do love you.

Nydia would later state, "If anyone is wondering, and I calculated this out right, that is equal to $708USD." REC was something at a loss for words, "This will really help me catch up."

Time and time again, the Sunweavers and Angels have shown as a community they have demonstrated how they come together to help one another, as Rec did in the past by helping a couple people in need of better computers get them, and reduce the tier of the sims. And now Rec in turn was helped in his hour of need.

Fundraiser at Happy Vixen Nets over 110,000 Lindens, "Personal Pin up Benefit Auction" Announced

It's been a trying time for RECoyote Mines, one of the members of theSunweaver/Angels community. In the past, he had helped a few of it's members get new computers, as well as helping the land owners lower their tiers to Linden Lab by paying the fees. But recently he announced his mother was very ill with cancer, and had exhausted his savings. So Nydia Tungsten began organizing a couple fundraising efforts at the Happy Vixen beach club. On Tuesday January 31 was a special double event in which those attending dropped over 20,000 Linden dollars into a special tip jar. Also started at the Happy Vixen was a "Tail Sale," in which people stopping by could bid on two dozen volunteers for a date, or some other special service such as building, drawing, or writing.

Thursday February 9 was the last day of the Tail Sale, and during the two events scheduled that evening, people dropped by not just to dance but make the final bids. People continued to remain after the scheduled events were over, and each of the boards was closed at a random time over the next few hours. The results were impressive. A total of over 87,000 Lindens had been raised in the Tail Sale, with four women getting bids of 10,000 or above: Ranchan Weidman, Alleara Snoodle, Brandi Streusel, and Matoazma Kazyanenko. Four more would get bids of 5000 Lindens or more: Nydia Tungsten, Dusk Griswold, Jasmine Dawn, and Mystic Xurina. Combined with the contents of the tip jar, which had gone up to close to 23,000 Lindens, plus the sales of the outfits made by Brandi for the purposes of raising funds for the event, and a few other donations, the result was 112,543 Linden dollars, or about $420 USD.

I want to thank you all for your help in helping raise money for our dear friend Reco, and with this first event alone we have raised $112,5111 L's total  THANK YOU ALL

But Nydia and the Happy Vixen club aren't done yet. Sadly, RECoyote's mother had passed away, which means funeral expenses. So she began organizing a "Personal Pin up Benefit Auction." While similar to the calendar auctions Nydia has held in the past, these would be for personal photographs of the volunteers and winning bidders. At most, these pictures can only be tasteful nudes with nothing more than a hug or cuddle.

Yes we just had one, but funerals are so very expensive, our friend Reco  still needs us, so we are having one last event, come bid on these models for the chance to have your own personal sensual photo shoot that goes no where but to YOU! so this is a one of a kind photo for your own collection.
 
If you didn't win in the first auction your chances are better now.

Several people have volunteered for this second auction, some from the first one such as Nydia, Brandi, Matoazma (pictured), and Mystic, and a few whom weren't in the first. So if you're interested in a picture with one of the models, head over and made a bid.

Purrfection Estates (236, 219, 24).
